You Say Tomato...

You say tom-a-to, I say tom-ah-to...

...ok that's enough.

I made two GREAT tomato dishes yesterday that I want to share with you!!

First up, a tomato-caper sauce for pasta. TALK ABOUT MAJOR YUM FACTOR!!!

All I did was saute cherry tomatoes (a good couple of handfuls), a couple of teaspoons of capers, dash of olive oil, 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic, and black pepper in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then, I mashed half of the tomatoes to create a sauce. Dump on whole wheat pasta and you have one GREAT dish!!! Look how lovely?!

The next recipe was SO easy to pull together. Throw a handful of tomatoes and half of a chopped cucumber, mixed with a clove of chopped garlic, dash of olive oil, dash of oregano (dried), and salt and pepper to taste. It's the quickest recipe to throw together and SO easy!
